(A/N: This chapter would be a continuation of chapter 81. Feel free to go back to the chapter and read again to refresh your memory)Rachel's POVWe passed the drinks around and decided to share the toast at the end, clicking our glasses with each other.Everything was going fine before Yandel's face started turning pale and paler, his lips started showing a hint of blue before he collapsed.I was the first to rush to his side as he struggled to breathe. The whole hall in seconds turned into a crowded mess as they rushed to the little crowd of Mariah, Ricky and Ben and some close by guests I didn't bother to recognize.My heart was racing severely as I looked at his body getting paler the more he grasps for air. I didn't know what exactly to do. The first thing that came out of my mouth was a screech when I realized that he was actually dying and no one was doing anything. Driven by total and utter confusion, fear and a serious heart race that should have sent me into a cardiac arres
A sharp piercing pain hit the side of my head as I hit the hard concrete and instant darkness overwhelmed my vision.A distant cry of my name was all the last thing I heard before I lost consciousness. ~~~~~"Hi...hey officer, I'm Alexander Miller, the host of the fundraiser and—" Xander wasn't able to finish his oh so polite introduction when he got interrupted by the detective."I know who you are, Mr. Alexander and I believe you are Miss Alice, right?" He looked in Alice's direction and he nodded his head, vaguely writing information down his notepad. His gun was very visible to public eyes and he looked like he was very much more from the south. His accent wasn't all that strong but his short curled hair with his way of dressing almost like an old sheriff from a town in Louisiana. Xander recognised the accent anywhere. As a child, he spent a lot of time in the farm house and then in his country house where his grandpa still lived. The crawling disturbing a
"Are you ready to make a statement yet?" Detective Dera asked Xander who was a little preoccupied with cursing internally at the woman who gave birth to him."No, I will contact my lawyers first, good day." ~~~~~~~Araceli was just like her father. Even though they were both insanely good at making business choices and deceiving their opponent with a calm and almost weak looking exterior, they both had stone heads. They never listened to orders I gave because they always thought they had it all figured out and they didn't need help.Over thirty five years ago when I first met The love of my life, Emilio Garcia. He was just the son of a don. A stubborn son of a don who refused to do his Father's bidding which led him to get whipped and tortured at every refusal but it still didn't break his resolve. He was determined to not make money the illegal way or at least be involved in it.He would run from his father whenever there was an operation coning and he had
"Reporting live from Greenland hall, Two of the youngest New York CEOs are currently being rushed to suncity hospital where they are to be treated. No one at the moment can provide a good enough information of what exactly went down at Greenland's event…" "Earlier this evening, there were sparks of rumors yet to be confirmed that CEO of the Garcia foundation, Miss Araceli Garcia was having an affair with The CEO and business partner, Mr Yandel Baldwin of Baldwin enterprise. This information was sent from unknown source and people continue to wonder what manner of fundraiser event this is as—" "Switch off that goddamn TV, Douglas or you will find pieces of it somewhere in your eyes, don't test me," Mrs. Garcia snared and Douglas immediately plugged out the wire for the TV in fear that the remote might just fuck up and then end him in the hospital.Was this Miller's plan all along? To make Araceli the bad guy in the face of the media all along while he was the cheat. At this point, Mr
"Can I see her??" Mrs. Garcia tone came across as still friendly even though her thousands of dollars purse was on the hospital white floor with a gun pointing out of it."Was she going to kill someone with it?" "Was she in a mafia and using a countless ring of hotels and investments to hide her involvement with the mafia??"Sasha knew that she was probably exaggerating, not overly though because there is no such thing as an overly exaggeration when there is an assumed to be loaded gun in your presence and she was doing nothing to cover it up. Now she would have not been so scared if Mrs. Garcia had just rushed to pick up the purse and hid the gun from plain sight. That would have put her currently worrying and panicked mind at some amount of peace, But she wasn't moved in the slightest bit. She was right there in front of a gun and a stressed doctor who hasn't had that much coffee to pretend like there's no gun on the floor. She has seen a gun in her life. Sasha has not just only
Amy"I should have seen the red flags…" My own voice echoed in my head.I was so used to getting hurt that at this point a sense of relief attacked my emotional weak state. It was a redo or rather a replay from my past. It has always happened like this. Men who I started to fall for just ended up being assholes.But Azariah was different, So was Peter, so was the rest of the shitty guys I attracted. It was almost as if I was nothing but a game, some little grandma favorite son trophy to take home to satisfy their childish ego. But Azariah caught me off guard. He was goofy, eccentric, and weird. These weren't qualities that were associated with assholes. It was a different kind of aback this time, this time I learnt and today I have been taught, nothing genuine existed. Maybe I should be more into girls, Lara seemed happy with her life, she seemed so much more mentally stable and emotionally collected. I knew I couldn't make myself start liking girls, sadly that wasn't how body bioc
Amy"Yes, she did…" Mrs Garcia appeared behind Ben from absolutely nowhere. That woman has always scared the shit out of me. I wasn't even surprised that we didn't really see her coming, I mean Mrs Garcia was quite average in height, just a few inches shorter than Araceli but Ben is a big man, big enough to overshadow Mrs. Garcia and totally take her out of our view. So now she just walked in on us at the verge of trolling her billionaire ass."With all due respect Mrs. Garcia, But we were all with her throughout, we were all on the same table. I'm sure you saw all of us together and Mariah was on the table in front of us that belonged to the Azariah Hosea." Ben came in our defense but Mrs Garcia was not having any of it. She had a dead bored face looking at us like we're all different shades of cock and bull. I know for sure she didn't really think any of us did it but she was paranoid. Anyone would be, it was a f*cking messed up situation, nobody knew who to trust at this point and
Amy"I'm not a red flag, Amy. Me, speaking my truth out in the open for you to judge doesn't make me a red flag. I'm not my brother…" Mariah held onto my arm with a well calculated desperate look on her face. I took my time to study the beautiful woman in front of me, from her slit eyebrow, to the silver and black rings, to the black knuckles tattoos of what looked like constellations, She definitely screamed her own person and showed that she made most of her decisions herself, she was a full meaning of herself.She wasn't like me. It was not in the aspect of being the richest family in the business world or the fact that she had an incredible amount of assets at her age because we were born in different mangers. It was not About her money, she was just one hundred percent her. She declared who she was so publicly and out spoken while I showed a fragment of my image. I wasn't that brave of a person. I only let my self on display when I was under the influence and made sure others
